Finally I found what the problem was: The installer tried to install a service that already existed on the system. You don't expect to get the 1923 "insufficient privilege" error when the service already exists.

I just ran into this problem and only spent a few minutes rather than hours trying to ...

It's been almost three years, would someone at Caphyon comment and let us know if this has been fixed and in which version?

Thanks

I just ran into a problem where my application shortcuts were not being installed because their Components were set to an optional Prerequisite that had not been installed. Luckily for me, I found and solved the problem without too much time wasted. But it did cause me to wonder about Components ...

Thanks, I decided to use a registry search instead.

The built-in Adobe Flash Player prerequisite no longer works for me, resulting in Warning 4154. Apparently, the NPSWF32.dll file referenced in the search has been renamed to include its version number as part of the file name (e.g., NPSWF32_11_5_502_110.dll).

I've been unsuccessful in using ...

Hmmm, it seems to happen when I turn on Synchronize after using Add Folder but not after using New Folder. I guess that's the solution, then.

Perhaps, in the future, you could add an option for "Add Synchronized Folder" so it's a little more intuitive?

Can anyone help me understand why the .svn folder is included in a synchronized folder even though it's specifically excluded by default? Please see this screenshot:

Hi again, thanks for your continuing help.

I tried your idea of the replacement files with newer dates, but it did not work. Would you be able to create a working example?

Hi Gabriel, thanks for your help. Your method works well. Do you know if it's possible to have File Copy/Move overwrite a pre-existing file? My installer contains a default file which I'd like to overwrite with a user-specific custom file using File Copy/Move.

Thanks

Hello,

Like many other users of Advancd Installer, I wish to copy some user-specific files placed next to the MSI. The process outlined in the user guide documentation on installing a user specific file using File Copy/Move works well but does not address the case where the user-specific file is in ...

Hope others find this useful.

Thanks, Kalle, that's an interesting approach. I think I will keep our current date-version scheme since only a glance is required to determine the build date. :lol:

We, too, had problems with constantly modified .aip files. I cannot count the number of times our build broke due to conflicts on ...

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for pointing out my use of "-noprodcode." I do this in order to " ensure that only one version of the product can be installed on the computer. " In order to keep things closer to normal usage, I will remove "-noprodcode" from my blog post. Perhaps I should reconsider my own use ...

I've written a short post about how I use Ant to automate Advanced Installer builds . I based my Ant script on the AI user guide ; I hope others find my addition useful.

If anyone has other Ant scripts or tricks, I'd love to know ...
